Our Spirits Don't Speak English: Indian Boarding School

Our Spirits Don't Speak English: Indian Boarding School (2008) is a documentary film directed by Chip Richie.

This compelling documentary feature gives the Native American perspective on Indian Boarding Schools and uncovers the dark history of U.S. Government policy which took Indian children from their homes, forced them into boarding schools, and enacted a policy of educating them in the ways of Western Society. This award-winning film gives a voice to the countless Indian children forced through a system designed to strip them of their Native American culture, heritage, and traditions.
